want to create a recycle bin

[nichess]

but this script won't work, it is telling me, that I have to many arguments

file_to_remove=$*
dirIn=`pwd`

if [ \(-f $HOME/deleted/.rm.cfg \) ]
then
deleted_dir = `cat $HOME/.rm.cfg`

for i in $file_to_remove
do
if [! \(-f $HOME/deleted/$i -a -w $HOME/deleted/$i \)]
then

mv $dirIn/$i $HOME/delete
else
rm $dirIn/$i
fi
done
else
echo "moved to recycle bin"

Thanks for helping me

Nichess,
You dont have a final 'fi' to match your initial if statement; also you need a space character after the '[' character and before the ']' character
